in•sane \in-'sân\ adj1: exhibiting serious and debilitatng mental disorder; also: used by or for he insane 2:ABSURD

Okay, I also looked up "absurd" and it means "ridiculous, unreasonable." Now I assume that most of you are not committed or have been committed, but I cannot verify that since I have never been in Australia to make sure. I will testify that I do have some mental "challenges" every now and then, but none have been serious or debilitating for an extended amount of time. As for being absurd, ridiculous, and unreasonable, I will admit to being any and all of these at one time or another. So does that make me insane? Possibly. However, I have been asked about my behavior by my peers and I have replied thusly: "Sometimes, I just go crazy in order to retain my sanity."

Does this help you, Leila? Probably not much, but sanity is more a perception of the balance of order and chaos within one's mind. I think most of the Evil Bunnies are crazy, ludracrous, and ecstatic. Indeed, our creativity stems from our chaotic natures. Yet, I do not believe we are too far enough insane to be unable to assimilate into mainstream society. We are just simply misunderstood and possibly avoided by those not gifted with our own brand of neuroses.

Of course, I could be all wrong on this, but I giva! As for that one guy on that date, he may have been intelligent, but he lacked the charisma and personality to properly make his presence enjoyable. Just because you are intelligent doesn't mean you can always be cool. Coolness is another quality, a trait if you will, apart from intelligence.
